I am normally not a fan of this restaurant at other locations but I will say this location might be a bar above the rest. We sat at the bar and was greeted right away - they changed the way you order - the last time I was here I ordered what I wanted with a pen and paper this time I listed what I wanted to the waitress - I think I like the other way better as there is less room for error. I ordered the 1/2 order of chips with garden salsa (just a fancy way to say verde salsa) it was delicious and the chips were perfectly crisp and salty. I also got a build your own taco with the ranch seasoned shell and the chicken ( I wasn't a huge fan of the chickens texture). The price is realtivley cheap and I like how this location on the weekend has specials that cater to the crowd of the banks like 2 for 20$ margarita flights. The inside was clean enough and the bathroom wasn't the worst I have seen. read more

I ordered this chicken burrito that's supposed to be their big item to go. When I cut into the burrito, the entire thing exploded they did not seal it properly. There was absolutely no queso inside the burrito. There was cheese that wasn't even melted. I don't know how that's possible when you make a burrito unless it's stuff that's been sitting around forever, which would be my guess I've ordered in Columbus and in Cleveland from this restaurant never been impressed. I hope Barrio comes to Cincinnati in the banks someday. The shredded chicken tasted great! But I didn't ask for a half pound of shredded chicken with some tomatoes and lettuce. You guys gotta figure this kitchen stuff out. read more

I used to love this place but unfortunately it's gone incredibly downhill. I stopped in a few weeks ago to grab food before a concert and while our food took way longer than expected it was fine because we had plenty of time. However, in general the tacos were not as good as it used to be. My order was also wrong so I had to send it back. Even the margaritas were no where near as strong as they used to be. I hate to see this establishment going down. Hopefully someone revives it soon! read more

Condado Tacos - Margarita - Bars Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Summertime: huge crowds from the Reds game, sweltering heat, but if you catch Condado while the game's still in session it's a (welcomed) ghost town! Hard tacos and a side of refried beans (+white rice) is my go-to! They simplified the menu since my first time here and you no longer have to customize everything on a notepad (/w a golf pencil). It's streamlined and easier to order (in theory, though I made up a completely custom order just like the good ole days). Even though it's a Columbus establishment Condado's always a great choice for a staple Ohio Taco. read more

The food was great! Our server was very attentive and I liked the atmosphere. I want to go there again!

Great food and margs! Came here before a Reds game. I always order a skinny marg. I will say their house tequila is Montezuma which is just yuck! However, they do have a great selection of tequilas so make sure you use something worth it. We ordered street corn guacamole to start which was new to us and absolutely delicious. I also ordered a taco with chicken that had melted queso and black beans. Yum! My husband got a taco with brisket but it lacked some meat and had more rice. The decor is beautiful and service excellent. Great vibes and margaritas are always a good combo! read more

I ordered from Condado on UberEats and didn't get pictures of my actual food, sadly, but I got the guacamole and rice and chips and it was all really fresh tasting and good. The pineapple guac was GREAT and a bit spicy so get it if you want a little heat. Since I ordered online, I can't speak to the service or ambiance but I can tell you the guac was fresh and I'll definitely visit in-person next time I am in that area and craving tacos! read more

The margaritas were good, the salsa was good, the chips were not. We were rushed into placing an order for food because "the kitchen is about to start a $1000 catering order." We rushed to order, then waited 45 min, after which the waitress told us they hadn't gotten to our food before the catering order but they were "wrapping it up." 15 min later, 1 hr 15 min after ordering, we were told our food was fifth in line for prep. Nothing was complicated. We canceled the order and left . Tacos are not worth that wait. You can't fault the business for prioritizing profit at the expense of regular customers, but being rushed into ordering and led into believing food was coming "soon" for that long when the waitress knew full well it wasn't was manipulative. read more

We have been to this Condado's 2 times in last 3 months. The first time was on Reds opening day and we could not have been more impressed all the way around. Went again yesterday before a Reds game. They were completely understaffed. The servers were working very hard but they were completely overmatched with the crowd. Our order was completely mixed up. Food was ice cold and quality was subpar. Don't understand how they could be so well run on opening day but yesterday was just so terribly disappointing. Hope they can get more staff very soon. read more

We were in the area for a live concert performance and ordered Condado Tacos for our aftershow food. These tacos are downright delicious! You cannot go wrong with any of their tacos! We especially loved the double shell layer. These tacos are so good, I've thought of them in recent weeks. When back in the area, Condado Tacos will be our go to for band aftershow food orders! read more

Tried out the smothered homemade tater tots which were covered in queso, pico and sliced jalapeños! We got the large serving which I expected on a small platter for $8. I'm grateful that I got the large size because I can't imagine how much smaller the half order would have been. They were good but not great. Other than the lack of quantity they were swimming in the ranch avocado dressing. Perhaps this was to fill the bowl with something other than what I was expecting - more tater tots! He got the Lucy taco which is his favorite and the portion size was generous. Tonight's margarita was even so-so. We've eaten here many times and usually when there is a long wait to get in. Not the case tonight. They just seemed off their game. The restaurant was cluttered and they couldn't seat us at a table because the majority of them weren't clean. So disappointing as I prefer a chair or stool with a back. So we sat at the bar where we cleaned off a space ourselves. Our bartender/server was fabulous and deserves 5 stars! Unfortunately, she has no control over the kitchen or the food. For a slow night in the restaurant it wasn't their best performance. read more

Atmosphere is great! Location is directly across the street from the Reds stadium. Wait staff was friendly. I gave this place a four. I ordered a fire roasted bowl, a little more than half of my bowl was rice. And a lot of corn. I was expecting a better balanced bowl. My friend ordered the swole bowl and similar response. read more

Condado Tacos is perfectly located in the dining/entertainment village in Cincinnati right across the street from The Great American Ballpark. There is a patio area with a view of the ballpark and Cincinnati skyline, but the interior is where you want to be seated as there is very unique decor/artwork, as well as plenty of televisions to watch games. Rather than a proper restaurant, it gave me vibes of an upbeat college bar, as evidenced by the largely younger skewing crowd dining there mixed with a few Cincinnati Reds fans. To start off, we ordered the queso dip with chips (3/5). The chips were just ok, with some being overly covered with salt. The queso dip was similarly average, and while I liked that it wasn't overly cheesy in flavor, it didn't really have much of a flavor or kick to it. For meals, we ordered some tacos, which can be extensively customized. The chicken tacos (3.5/5) were decent and fresh, but like the queso, didn't have any sort of kick or flavor profile that I'd consider them anything beyond slightly above average. It took a while to be served, but service (3/5) was friendly once the waitress came over to serve us. While I wouldn't recommend Condado Tacos for their average tasting Mexican cuisine, it's a decent place for an upbeat bar vibe and good place to hang out before or after a game at the nearby stadiums. read more

I've been a supporter of Condado since they opened their first store front in Columbus. My husband, daughter and I visited the location at the banks after a reds game and I was greatly disappointed. The bathrooms were not clean and mind you this was 630 PM. The changing table was broken and I wasn't able to change my daughter. The one toilet wouldn't flush. Our food was delivered to another table. They remade our food but my bowl was missing the essential including the rice and lettuce. Our waitress never checked on us until we flagged her down for the check. read more

Our server was very sweet and attentive. She took care of us very well. The food was really good portion and flavorful. I loved the aesthetics of the place. It was edgy hipster kind of vibe. All in all, I enjoyed it here. read more

Cold ass tacos. Every time. Like not even room temp. Just yanked out of fridge and tossed in delivery box. It's not the delivery service as queso is nice and warm, foil wrapped tacos are always cold ass though read more

We had a large party on a cold, slow Thursday night. Kate took REALLY good care of us while we were there. The place is super cool inside with a great location (right across the street from the ballpark)! The queso was good, salsa was alright and guacamole was good as well. I thought the chips were a little too hard/thick but that is all personal choice. They are known for their tacos so that is what I was really ranking them for and I thought their tacos were about average. So, if you are going to have tacos in your name, your tacos should be amazing, but I was not blown away unfortunately. However, we had a great time, service was great and the place looks great inside so it would be a great place to come back for a ballgame or something. read more

Stopped for tacos while visiting Cincinnati! Right across from The Great American Ballpark and the Reds were about to play so it was a cool vibe!

Came here after the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Was seated as soon as we walked in and waitress took our drink order. We ordered the Queso Blanco and Chips for an appetizer. Chips seemed homemade. Queso was thick and very good! Food came out pretty quickly. Everything was hot and fresh. Portion size was pretty generous too. Waitress was not as attentive after we got our food. Husband had to ask for a box and our check. Waitress was paying way more attention to her phone than her guests. Otherwise everything was good. Noise level wasn't too bad in there either. Which was good for us so we could talk to each other and actually hear each other. read more

Tried Condado Tacos before a Reds game. We walked in and I was surprised to see a ton of open tables. We had a pretty big group and they said it would be 15-20 min. It was a bit longer than that. We ordered everything right away as we were a little tight on time to get to the game. Appetizers came quickly but drinks took awhile. I'd say like 20 minutes. Food came shortly after and a bunch of things were wrong. Asked for no cheese on one set of tacos and came with cheese. Waiter dropped sour cream and never brought another. Food was good, but just an ok experience service-wise. read more

Wife and I stopped in here ...Bar selection is really poor... they don't have budlight which makes Zero sense given you have two stadiums who are sponsored by Budlight next to you . No real Liqour outside of tequila. Insanely dark lighting like they won't want you to see your food ...they had No heat . It's winter . Tacos came cold and portions all over the place tons of veggies Pinch of meat . Vibes in here are just off not sure if something happened never had. Experience like this in a restaurant downtown . We won't be back . Very pricey for poor bar choices and no heat . read more

I keep giving this place "one more chance" because the food is so good, but the service is beyond abysmal. I've sat down for meals and gotten take-out and somehow they manage to mess up both every time. The food is good but service so bad it's not worth going to. read more

So many choices, tough to decide... I felt a bit rushed, NOT the fault of the restaurant, but due to a pending event we were planning to attend in the vicinity...) and may not have gotten my first/best choice, but it was reasonably good, came out quickly, and definitely filled me up. I got a rice and bean bowl, with roasted chicken, topped with jicama and cabbage slaw and cilantro and onions. My friend got shrimp tacos and an order of guac. and chips to share. Nothing earth-shattering, but ok... Pricing, service, and decor were great. With more time to choose, I think I would have left happier, but that's not the restaurant's fault. This is not an "eat and run" sort of place. NEXT time, I hope to come in with more time to relax, pick something more "interesting," and APROVECHAR!! read more

I'm not sure how someone can be a lazy cook with such a simple dish, but they managed to succeed at that. I ordered the Baja shrimp taco, and although it was overloaded with flavor and spice, the rice was not freshly cooked and was hard. I also ordered the heater taco, which was packed with heat and flavor. I loved the crunch of the hard taco inside and was comforted by the soft taco. It was much better than the shrimp taco. I also chose to have the House Margarita drink, which was just okay. The service was impersonal. The ambiance is dope. read more

I ordered a burrito and some street corn. The street corn was missing several traditional ingredients and was more like a slaw (no cotija cheese, lime, mayo, paprika, cilantro). The burrito didn't have any of the fajita peppers and onions I ordered on it. It was also missing the queso and garden salsa I ordered but somehow had the corn salsa. The chicken was steamed/boiled(!). The rice was plain and white. It was like having boiled, flavorless chicken and white rice with a few bits of corn in a tortilla. This was not Mexican food. It wasn't even good at being whatever it was. I read reviews like this and assume people are exaggerating, but this was an even-handed description of my meal, unfortunately. read more

I had 2 brisket sweat heat tacos. Some of the best tacos I have ever had. And I also had a cactus juice mocktail, which at first I didn't enjoy but after I got my tocos it pairs perfectly. I'll definitely have to try more of the menus next time I'm there. My server Dom was extremely kind, Asked if I needed any thing, and overall did what any extent server should do. The atmosphere was incredible. I loved the art on the walls. Everyone seemed friendly. Sadly I was told that business has been down compared to what it normally is. I personally think the atmosphere would be even better if more people were there. read more

We had astonishingly good service from our server Max. Our group definitely would have been a huge inconvenience for him - we walked in with no reservation for a work awards ceremony with a group of about 20 people. There was only a wait for about fifteen minutes and it was on a Friday evening around 7. After everyone ordered, Max realized himself that everybody here ordered vegan (we are a vegan work association which is very important to the group's values). After giving us our food, he came back and asked us if all the food came out correctly. After everyone said yes, he then took time to check each individual meal just to make sure there was no meat anywhere - he even shone a flashlight on a mushroom he wanted to double check and no one had to even ask him. On top of it all, he was super accommodating and he was not stressful nor tried to rush us. Our orders came out surprisingly fast and we got to take our time enjoying our food. I got the rice and black bean bowl. Ordering was super easy as there are clear vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free labels on each ingredient. We also enjoyed a side of guacamole which was a little bit spicy - delicious and unique. This is one of the customer service experiences that I have thought of multiple times after leaving the restaurant. Thank you to the workers for having such a great attitude and making our event memorable and stress-free. Every one of my coworkers were shocked and impressed by his customer service and general kindness. read more

My family and I have had several very positive experiences so much so that my son wanted to celebrate his 16th birthday there. Unfortunately the experience was very bad. The restaurant was largely empty and there appeared to be plenty of staff. The chips were stale and cold, the restaurant was out of many items, and we waited more than an hour for tacos that never came, with no updates from the server. Suffice it to say, we paid for the chips and salsa and left. We wish them luck and hope this was a one-off for them. But we won't be back to that location. read more

Came here after a baseball game with our boys. Sean was absolutely amazing, to the point we told our kids this is how ALL service industry folks should act, knowledgeable, friendly, personable, he did not miss a beat and they were BUSY when we showed up! 10/10 would recommend. Unfortunately we're from Oregon so probably won't be back anytime soon, however this would be a regular spot for us if we were local. Food was also 10/10! read more

**Hands down the best taco spot in town!** Prices were solid, the drinks were fire, and the hosts were beautiful. Shoutout to the bartender Rincie not only was she stunning, but her service was top tier. She walked right up, introduced herself, and from that moment it was a wrap. The entire staff was dope from the door person to the dishwashers. That kind of energy makes you want to come back! read more

Condado Tacos - Spicy Lucy and my creation. - Bars Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

See all

Condado Tacos is a colorful and popular restaurant at The Banks which features both traditional and americanized mexican food. The inside of the restaurant is decorated floor to ceiling with fun and creative murals that feature Cincinnati staples with southwestern twist. If there is a Cincinnati game going on like the Reds or FC they project it onto a wall in the back for diners to enjoy. The building also has large windows/doors which can be opened when the weather is nice and connect to their outdoor seating area. For appetizers, the queso blanco is absolutely amazing but there is also their guacamole where you can get the Three Buds which is any three combinations of the dips they offer. They also have Mexican street corn that is refreshing and delicious. My go-to order is the Build Your Own Nachos: chicken, lettuce, cilantro + onions, queso fresco, tomatillo salsa, and avocado ranch. The nachos are the most bang for your buck and can easily be shared between two people. If you're feeling tacos make sure to order 2-3 as they are on the small side. The service is typically very quick although you may wait a bit if you're dining before or after a Reds game on the weekend, which is to be expected. If ordering online, the website is very easy to use and my food is always ready when I get to Condado. When visiting you must also get one of their margaritas! My favorite is the house margarita but they also offer flavored ones and pitchers that can be shared with friends (or just for you haha). Condado also has a booth in the front of their outdoor seating area where you can purchase a margarita or certain tacos (based on what is being served that day) to go and enjoy in the DORA section of The Banks if you don't feel like sitting down to eat. read more
